Sorry to hear about your injury, but glad you are getting help covered by workmens comp. Unfortunately knee injuries can happen at any age. Your recovery might take some time, but if you are patient and follow the doctors orders, which I'm sure include some form of stretching and exercise, you could be back to skiing next year. Good luck!

I was playing in a faculty/parent basketball game at the school that I teach PE. Late in the game I did a jump stop anf felt my knee pop. I couldn't believe it. I was concerned about playing since I am 35 and ski season was less than a month away.

I got my MRI results and it said I ruptured my ACL, Strained my MCL and possible tera in my lateral meniscus. I am not sure how long recovert will take but hope I can ski next year without any fear.

I was pretty worried about which DR. I could see since the injury occurred at work and workmens comp has a panel i could choose from.

I was lucky that Dr. Micheal Ciccotti agreed to see me on DEC 20th.
